The Dress That Got Away Saturday, May 03, 2008 10:43 PM

The Clothing Show is currently taking place this weekend here in Toronto. Is anyone planning to attend or has attended? I spent a few hours this afternoon picking through jewelry and riffling through racks of vintage dresses at the Better Living Centre.

At the booth simply titled "Norma's", I spotted the most gorgeous 1960s pink silk crepe cocktail dress. It was a small size so I tried it on. With vintage, I have trouble finding pieces I like that are small enough to fit me. So what does this dress do to spite me? It wouldn't zip up! It must've been that sundae on a stick I had a few minutes earlier.

It made me so sad to leave it there and to learn that the proprietor works out of her home in Fort Erie. She had many lovely pieces that appeared to be great condition. It's a shame I'll only be able to check out her stock at The Clothing Show that takes place twice a year. And that's if she decides to continue to set up a booth at the future shows. Sigh...that dress...

(okay, done whining.)

Thank you Sabrina for pointing out the addition of the Bellinghama sandal to Aldo's inventory. I've been trying to find the shoe for several months after seeing it featured in a photograph on their website. Now I can admire it from three different angles and in three different colours.

Sorry things have been quiet around here lately. There are some personal matters that I've been preoccupied with. Somewhat more frequent posting should resume soon.

This weekend I didn't have time to photograph my outfits, so instead I'll leave you with this tourist-esque photo taken by my mom. And no, we didn't go fishing. I merely stood in front of a sign for a boat rental place at Rice Lake.
